Added. It's marked as informal in the dictionary, but no doubt:
Headword north. Phrases: up north. Informal , To or in the north of a country: he’s taken a teaching job up north

In England the use of "up north" implies the speaker is in the south (similarly for "down south" and "over in the west"). I think this might also apply in the US.

Why is just 'nord' considered as 'the north'. I wrote down 'An area in north', but shouldn't it be like 'norden' or something then?
